THE BBC and its top journalists are guilty of bias against Brexit and more British people would have voted to leave the European Union if coverage was fair, according to a damning report.

The anaysis of the Beeb's news coverage found that between May 3 and June 7 out of 375 contributors, 189 were pro-EU or had negative opinions about Brexit.

It said the broadcasting corporation invited a third more pro-EU speakers than anti-EU speakers to appear during the election campaign.

And, the report, carried out by media analysts News-watch, slammed high-profile figures like the BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg and Kamal Ahmed, economics editor, for making Brexit sound negative to the British public.

It said the reporters “one-sidedly emphasised the difficulties of Brexit.”

Eurosceptic MPs banded together to commission the report to see if there was indeed Brexit bias on the BBC, The Telegraph reports.
